Officer Arrests Celina Man On Drug Charge
CELINA — For the second time in three days a traffic stop has led to the seizure of a significant amount of heroin.
On Sunday, Celina Police Officer Brian Taylor recognized Zachery Frazier as the subject drove north on Main Street. The officer was aware that Frazier was under suspension from the state of Ohio. He confirmed this information through a computer check and stopped the vehicle at a residence in the 100 block of East Wayne Street at 2:33 p.m. Sunday
Frazier was taken into custody at the scene of the stop. During the search incident to arrest officers found he was allegedly in possession of 14 bindles of heroin. A bindle consists of a piece of foil wrapped paper, similar to what is found inside a pack of cigarettes, folded over itself to form a container to hold heroin.
Frazier was incarcerated in the Mercer County Adult Detention Facility on a $100,000 bond. He is facing three traffic charges, along with possession of heroin, a fourth-degree felony.
On Friday, Celina Police Officer Andy Regedanz was on bicycle patrol when he stopped Benjamin Cordier for driving under suspension. That traffic stop led to the seizure of heroin and a syringe from Cordier, and the issuance of a search warrant for his home at 306 S. Brandon Ave. Additional drugs and paraphernalia were found in the home.
The suspects from both of these traffic stops are expected to make their initial appearances in court this week.

Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey were involved in a huge bust-up while filming American Idol on Tuesday (02Oct12), reportedly forcing producers to cut auditions short.
The two divas, the latest superstar mentors hired for the hit talent contest, apparently fell out over a contestant who tried out for the panel in Charlotte, North Carolina.
In video footage obtained by TMZ.com, a furious Nicki Minaj can be seen shouting and swearing at the Hero hitmaker, telling producers, "I told them, I'm not f**kin' putting up with her f**kin' highness over there."
Mariah Carey can be seen beginning to argue back while Keith Urban, who was sitting between the warring pair, tries to calm the situation.
The show's bosses decided to cut the tension by closing the auditions for the day, according to TMZ.com.

Spoiler for Zeta Gundam plot:
As for Macross, hard to believe the same guy that created that is now making shows like Aquarion and Basquash. Maybe it just had to be the 80's/90's for some of the shows that aired then to be as they were, but maybe Psycho-Pass will prove me wrong. Not that you don't still get more of the grittiness in OVAs and Movies, but for TV anime it's definitely different, though maybe a little less so lately.
Anyway I have a hunch this is going to be one of those animes. You know, the ones that do better over here than they do over in Japan. Might be wrong though, it really seems like Japan is starting to embrace a harder edge again even in the shows that still make use of moe tropes so if Urobuchi is looking to something like this sounds and have there be potential for great financial success as well I think he picked about the best possible time in what may be the best possible season.

Loved the 1st EP.
Trailers lowered my expectations badly, but the real deal turned to be a nicely done work.
Pacifist girl and some character designes still are the problematic parts for me though.
Oh, and Egoist for the ending will always bring back GC memories

Ep 1...
If K is trying too hard to be cool, Psycho-Pass is trying too hard to be edgy... dark and edgy, even.
Spoiler for ep 1:
Anyway, despite all the above it wasn't bad, so I'll give it a few more episodes... then again, if it's the usual Noitamina length I might as well see it through.

Episode 1
Pretty solid introductory episode. The art direction on this show is really good. city backdrop at night, the rain, the decay, etc. There's a good amount of background detail creating a convincing dystopian setting. The music is fantastic too. There are some great tracks accompanying the various scenes, and I really dig the opening song.
The story in the first episode is pretty straight-forward, and it basically follows Akane's first operation. She meets the team, gets hands on, and the audience gets a taste of what the world is like, what the rules are, and how a normal police operation proceeds. The direction is slick and being a simple stand alone casual case, there's nothing complicated or tied to the larger story here, allowing the characters to be observed in their normal behaviors and such.
The level of violence and graphic content is pretty high for a noitmainA show, so it's a little surprising, but it still feels like a pretty "unique" show in the overall modern anime line up. Adult characters, team work, a serious tone, a little bit of humor, and an interesting hook in the opening scenes which hints at a larger story. I think it's going to be really enjoyable if they can keep the quality up, and have a mix of interesting stand alone cases while developing the overarching plot.

just saw this new release,
...so many new releases this season
hmm Gen Urobochi & KanaHana, will be monitoring this, 1st eps good for me though hope it turns out real good.
felt like was watching Blade Runner at the start ( One of my fave films :-) , so i guess that's a favorable thing). End explanation and plot premiss brings it closer to Minority Report though, i suspect the protagonists dilemma will revolve around the same... with urobochi's twists of course

Rollover crash
The Wapakoneta Post of the Ohio State Patrol investigated a one-car crash on U.S. 33 Friday. A passenger in the vehicle was transported from the scene. An officer said a female driver, a male passenger, and a child passenger were in the vehicle at the time of the crash. No other information was available.
Further information revealed that in fact a male driver had been driving the vehicle after investigation was done by the OSP.
Brien Woolf, 25, was driving a 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier owned by Jessica Schmidt, 21, of the same Celina address, east on 33 when Woolf said he tried to remove a moth from inside the car and drove off the left side of the road, striking a guardrail and overturning the car, which came to rest on its top, in the median, according to a report from the Wapakoneta Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Woolf; Schmidt, who was a passenger; and Jethrow Tuttle, 2, also of the same Celina address, were all properly restrained but suffered nonincapacitating injuries. They were all transported by Wapakoneta Rescue Squad to Lima Memorial Hospital for treatment.
The car, which Woolf was driving 68 miles per hour in a 65 mph zone, was severely damaged.
Woolf was cited for operating a vehicle without reasonable control and the vehicle was towed from the scene.

Test Reviews
MINOX BL 8x44 HD Binoculars Review
No matter whether it matters to you or not or indeed if it is good or bad, the fact is that more binoculars are being manufactured in China than ever before and increasingly you can now only find a relatively small number of the very finest and most expensive instruments being fully designed and manufactured in places like the US, Japan and the traditional European countries like Germany and Austria.
MINOX are proud of the fact that their BL Line (as well as most others) are fully designed and manufactured in Germany and that they are hand finished and undergo a rigorous quality control inspection before leaving the Wetzlar factory.
This level of detail and care is becoming increasingly rare, but what makes it even more unique is that they have been able to produce what they say is a premium quality binocular at what is a very competitive price, that is way below many similar products no matter where they are made.
So to see just how well they are made and indeed how they perform, I spent a couple of weeks using and testing the latest version of the MINOX BL 8x44 HD binoculars (No. 62048) and you can read my full review here:
MINOX BD 7×28 Binocular Review
The Minox BD 7×28 is a unique binocular and thats not a distinction many can claim. Designed by Volkswagen, the slimline barrels linked by a narrow but very solid metal bridge high on the instrument makes it look incredibly sleek and modern. It leaves almost the entire barrel exposed for a really comfortable wrap-around grip (what Minox calls its Comfort Bridge design). Optically its excellent with one caveat you cant focus both barrels at the same time.
MINOX BV 8×25 BRW Binocular Review
Theres no doubt that the Minox BV 8×25 is an accomplished little compact binocular. It does a lot of things very well, but I cant shake the feeling that it should deliver a little more punch in terms of overall image quality.
While it is certainly very compact, and feels extremely robust, the single hinge design means it cant fold down like dual hinge compacts do and that makes it a lot less pocketable. For me that diminishes its usefulness as a carry-anywhere binocular, which is the only reason Id choose a compact. On the flip side the single hinge design is less fiddly in use, means your binoculars are always ready, and makes them feel much more like real binoculars in the hand.
MINOX BV 10x25 Binoculars Review
MINOX 10x25 BV Optics
As I do with all my reviews, to get an objective opinion, I compared the view through these with my benchmark compact binoculars, that have a configuration of 10x26.
Image Quality
The image produced was as clear and sharp as my benchmark, contrast was also about the same, which means that they are above average and as good as or better than any in their price range. The colour reproduction for a compact was good and the amount of colour fringing (chromatic aberration) around the edges of a dark object when viewed in front of a light background was extremely minimal, but no more than other binoculars in this class and only noticeable if you are really searching for it.
MINOX DTC 1000 Trail Camera Review
Overall Minox have once again produced an excellent trail camera that definitely improves upon their already excellent previous models.
It is tough, waterproof and the batter life is excellent and I love the ability to be able to send any captured images to your phone or e-mail address all of which mean that you can leave it out on location over very long periods of time with complete confidence.
The improvement in the video quality along with the fact that it now also records sound is excellent as this was something that I mentioned as being a shortfall on the DTC 600.
So in my opinion if you are looking for a tough, high quality trail camera, the Minox DTC 1000 is up there with the very best.

A 1,000-piece collection of Jayhawk memorabilia will stay at the University of Kansas union thanks to a donation from an Overland Park couple.
James and Mary Ascher donated $130,000 to the KU Endowment after hearing that the Bud Jennings' Jayhawk collection was being put up for auction.
James Ascher decided to put up the money without even seeing the collection, which Jennings began in 1939. Jennings donated it to the union four years ago, saying he hoped someone would buy it to help fund his retirement. But when no offers came in, the union said it would auction off the pieces or sell them on eBay.
Ascher attended the university in the 1950s, and he didn't want to see the collection leave the campus to buyers scattered throughout the globe. Ascher, who owned a pharmaceutical company before retiring in 2010, also wanted to help out Jennings.
"I thought, well, that would be bad for the administration of KU because the Jayhawk is probably the most recognized symbol of the university in the country," Ascher said.
Kansas spokesman Mike Reid said now that the collection will be permanent, some improvements will be made to the presentation.

SOC 315 Social Movements, Collective Action, and Protest (1)
The course examines the theoretical frameworks used by sociologists to explain and understand collective action, protest, and social movements in society, as well as how these theories are used to answer fundamental questions about these phenomena. Topics addressed include resource mobilization, political opportunity and political process, framing, and new social movements. Critiques of theory are also examined, in particular those emphasizing the failure of mainstream theories to account for culture, their emphases on the experiences of only the U.S. and Europe, and the difficulty of applying theory to the prediction of future collective action. Case studies are examined throughout the course, with the final one-third of the semester dedicated specifically to Latin American social movements,

During a tour of the Braun Collection - the shaver and grooming company's in-house museum, dedicated to its multitudes of electronic products released over the years - Pocket-lint made a startling discovery. Hidden in the basement of the site in Kronberg, Germany, away from public view, was a series of models depicting patents of shaving machines designed in the 1800s.
Clearly depicting the work of madmen and/or Sweeney Todd, the models were made by an enterprising artist and donated to the Collection - presumably as Braun is synonymous with shaving products. Certainly, the idea of cut-throat razors being waved around in the air by steam-driven automatons is enough to stop anybody whinging about the pitfalls of dry shaving over wet.
Perhaps the machines should be developed, if only to up the amount of those taking part in Movember -the annual moustache-growing charity event that takes part throughout, you guessed it, November.
With money being raised for The Prostate Cancer Charity and Everyman, while raising awareness for both in the process, it's something we feel strongly about at Pocket-lint.
We're not so eager to support razor wielding Georgian period robots, however.
What do you think? Would you like a shave from an 1830s contraption? Let us know in the comments below...

HERSHEY, Pa. (AP) - July 15, 2013 --Rock star Dave Matthews may jet to performances around the world, but that doesn't mean his bike never breaks down.
That's what happened before his show in Hershey on Saturday when one of his fans pulled over to give the stranded cyclist a ride and realized the hitchhiker was none other than Matthews.
Emily Kraus tells WHP-TV in Harrisburg that she and her boyfriend helped him stow his bike on their bike rack and he got in their car for the rest of the ride.
Kraus says he invited them to dinner, signed their tickets, took them back stage and got them front row seats.
Kraus says he was a very humble guy and that she woke up the next morning still amazed that it happened.

A dual band would be fine.
Should be able to find a serviceable one for around $100 or so.
I'm looking for a new router. I have many gadgets that connect through Wi-Fi (smart tv, cameras, echo, printer, phone, kindle, etc and am buying more smart home devices and a 2nd smart tv). I'm not tech savvy at all and I want to purchase the best router (well, maybe not the top, top router as price is an issue, but a really good one) that can handle all of my devices well, and is secure. Can you please help me?
Also, please forgive me if this is a really stupid question (again, I'm not tech savvy at all) - but, the guy at best buy told me that I could purchase a router/personal cloud combo that would store my desktop to the cloud and I could access it from anywhere. Can you please educate me a little about this and tell me if that's the way to go and why or why not, please? Thanks so much!

It's no use letting your ignorance, laziness, or even shame, stand in the way of learning to code. I possessed all three in abundance, until this week I took myself along to a Coding for Digital Professionals course (shock horror, it's run by Econsultancy in London).
The stuff I learned, and the geocities-eat-your-heart-out website I created, got me thinking about all the points in a marketer's life where coding knowledge comes in handy.
In this post I'll reveal more about what I got up to during my first foray into 'the matrix', and I'll list five reasons marketers must have some rudimentary knowledge off HTML, CSS and Javascript.
I'll start with some simple tech info, but read on if you want to see the website I built.
So, I indeed learnt about HTML, CSS and Javascript as the languages responsible, respectively, for the structure or meaning of the content, as well as its style and behaviour in a web page.
If you know about these already, you may want to skip the next few paragraphs and take a look further down the post at the reasons I believe marketers should know how to code.
Learning to code
The learning method we used was to take some code already written by our capable teacher, Mike Baxter, look at how it works, then edit it for our own purposes. This trial format, with a lot of the necessary tags already presented to us, gave us the requisite confidence to throw ourselves into the task at hand.
We did our hands-on coding in Codio, a free web IDE (internet development environment), currently in beta, where one can write code, preview it, host files, folders and eventually your own website.
We also did a lot of snooping around in Google Chrome. Try 'right clicking' and selecting 'inspect element' to see what DevTools Chrome has to offer - you can learn more about these DevTools at Code School.
So, we learned slowly about how to develop web pages and web sites.
Beginning with HTML markup with attributes, see some example markup here (right clicking and selecting 'view page source' in Google Chrome will show you source code of a web page), we worked through different kinds of styling and behaviour:
- Inline style is adding style to a particular element of HTML, so perhaps adding a colour to one particular instance of a word.
- Embedded style is adding instruction in the 'head' tag of the web page, where one can specify wider styling, for example, one could make all listed text a certain colour.
One step higher up, CSS (cascading style sheets) can be used across more than one webpage. The style sheet is linked to from the HTML 'head' tag, and this CSS then specifies which content should be styled and how.
We then looked at some structural elements like boxes and menus, before moving on to Javascript. We studied some simple functions such as a button that can be clicked and replaces a portion of text, or a field for email address validation.
Finally we spread our wings slightly and discussed client-server architecture, http headers, APIs, and then some libraries such as jQuery (a Javascript library) and Bootstrap.
Bootstrap alongside HTML5 is exciting in that it is standardising the web in a way that makes it easier to code, or to adapt open-source code. Bootstrap is a front-end framework combining HTML, CSS and Javascript.
The latest incarnation of Bootstrap (3) is responsive by default and mobile-first. It serves as the style guide for Twitter development, where it was created. Check out the site for more information.
The results?
Well, with Mike's help, taking a site he had built using the principles described above, I felt confident to go away and continue on my journey to becoming a programmer.
I'm still a long way off, you can click to see my minor amends to Mike's efforts through the pic below. The header bar doesn't have any real functionality at the moment, apart from some swanky stuff in the 'gettin' fancy' page, but I have added imagery, text and some boxes with links to external sites.
This was achieved with only a few hours tuition and background, and then a final thirty minutes or so tinkering.
Why all marketers should learn to code
If you're going to get to grips with tracking code, you'll need knowledge of HTML and Javascript. Check out the detail here.
This is useful at a basic level simply to analyse web pages and try to figure out what is tracked, and then at the next level up, if you're going to implement this yourself.
Style library
As you and your brand build templates, it makes sense for these to sit in the same place as other brand guidelines. Are you making sure there's enough knowledge across the non-tech teams of what assets will ensure consistency across sites, brands etc?
Having a library of style sheets which will allow you to switch between, for example, seasonal versions of your product pages, could be very important for conversion, and something you'll need to bone up on if you want to command this kind of change.
Working with an agency
Do you really know what work has been done by an agency, and how long that work should have taken, and whether they did it quickly or took the long route so they could charge more?
Having a few simple questions in your arsenal is handy when you're sitting down with a web agency who you've never felt sure about.
Working with your tech team
A similar story, but with a nicer twist. When you're working with your tech team, you want to know when your requests are a headache and when they are simple requests.
This is just so you know when you can lean gently on people and when it's best not to. Knowledge of styling, for example, will allow you to understand better how quickly changes can be made.
Competitor analysis
If you can look at that snazzy website of your competitors, and see some elements of its build, why shouldn't you? Being able to know if a competitor has a responsive website, built mobile-first, or simply a CSS 'snap' between two screen sizes - this is valuable stuff.
So, marketers, if I've convinced you of your need to code, get on an Econsultancy course, or straight on Codio, and get cracking.

Good post Ben. This is what makes the top digital marketers stand out above the rest.
I have no idea how you can work in digital marketing if you do not have a solid understanding of the technical, design, usability aspects. How can you write a brief to an agency if you do not fully understand the best way to deliver the objective.
Hi Ben,
This is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. I have always had a decent enough grasp of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to get by in SEO and digital marketing, but I've long wanted to take it to the next level.
My favourite resource at the moment is teamtreehouse.com, which for a reasonable monthly fee, gives you access to a whole load of lessons and tutorials. Throughly recommend it.
I have been writing a post on and off about why marketers should learn to code, and your post has reminded me to get on with it!
Thanks. I look forward to the post. I think the standardisation of technology will provide the opportunity for many more to educate themselves, using free resources or otherwise.
Really good article Ben. Having attended Decoded last year I would fully support the benefits of going on such an introductory course. I am certainly no expert but it has given me a lot more confidence when engaging with tech teams and suppliers.
Great post, i am a marketer who learnt HTML/CSS and JavaScript, and now i have a maketing role in a tech company. I helped that i understood in at least a small why what the developers where up to and a bit more about who our customers are. Highly recommend learning at least the basics via codeavengers.com
As an ex-senior developer, there is one motto I would encourage you to adopt:
"HTML is NOT about presentation, it's about providing semantic meaning to a document"
Forget the pretty pictures, that should all be CSS.
This is the thing most people struggle to get their head around, but is one of the main things which will help with SEO.
Great article Ben.. really enjoyed reading it.
Great to hear this articulated. I also can't understand how you can brief a website as a digital marketer without a sound knowledge of HTML, CSS, APIs etc - the scope for misunderstandings and failure in briefing or project management if you don't have these skills, is vast!
I consider myself an honorary geek and best friends with my devs!
I don't agree - at least, not if you take it past the point that a bit of knowledge is useful when talking to people in other disciplines, as it helps with communicating requirements.
I have never yet met anyone who can do both marketing and code to a professional standard. I've met people who can do both, but not to a high level. I've met people who can do one well and the other Ok-ish. Yes, there may well be the rare person who is freakishly talented who can do both, but I think they are the exception.
The two abilities are on opposite sides of the scale in terms of approach, methods and way of thinking. What you have described only scratches the surface. Not only that, but technology changes all the time so it's not just about learning how to sling together a website, but keeping up with changes.
So as far as your article premise goes - people should stick to what they are good at, and focus on getting better. And there is nothing wrong with that.
By all means play around, build your own website but the argument that marketers should learn to code is a risky one. The ability to code 'a little' (an think that is all there is to it) is one reason for a lot of the clunky, thin and downright unusable not to mention insecure websites out there.
And while it makes life easier to be able to talk someone's language - if a developer says something is hard - if you don't trust them to be telling the truth you might want to find another developer.
I'm not being defensive - I'm neither a marketer or a coder - I know a bit about both but would not say I'm an expert in either.
Completely agree with the topic.
When I was first introduced to SEO I found a great lack of coding knowledge as well as during my tries to set a site for my company. Now I know a bit of HTML, CSS, JS and even PHP just because you need to say your developers what do you want in there language.
Right now decided to gather my skills into something more systematic and registered for http://courses.digitalacademy.biz/ - they seem to combine all I need as well as more profound HTML. Can you suggest if it's better to take the distant coding course and learn it gradually or hand's on at http://econsultancy.com/us/training/courses/coding-for-professionals ? Is one day really enough?
I think there's lots and lots you can learn straight from the web, but if you don't know where to start and your company is keen to increase your knowledge, a course allowing you to ask questions of an expert and begin in a comfortable environment can be a great springboard.
But there are lots of resources out there.
Stats would be another technical area that would be good for marketers to have exposure of. Things like statistical significance, probability, as well as how to present data without bias.

He's been showered with fellowships and prizes, but Nathan Englander ("What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank") is sweating his first play: "The 27th Man," which just started previews at the Public Theater. "God bless Nora Ephron!" he cries. The late great writer discovered the story — about Yiddish writers rounded up by Stalin's secret police — in Englander's 1999 collection, "For the Relief of Unbearable Urges." "She took me to Barney Greengrass and said, 'There's a play in here, and I want you to write it!' " Englander wrote a novel in the interim, and then, he says, Ephron helped him take it from there. "She literally taught me the rules of drama," he marvels.Here's what's in his library.
An Exclusive Love
by Johanna Adorján
I was in Berlin on a book tour and my publicist and I were waiting for a cab when a journalist offered us a ride. She turned out to be Johanna Adorján. Her book is a memoir with imagined parts about her grandparents, who had a suicide pact. They were Holocaust survivors who decided to choose their own end, who didn't want to go on without the other.
Smiley's People
by John Le Carré
I'm trying to live in a broader world. I hadn't read a mystery in 20 years when I found this book at an airport in Edinburgh. It's a reminder of what a good story's supposed to do. It has a driven narrative, and it's beautifully written. It's been a while since I had a book I couldn't put down! Now I'm on my third or fourth LeCarré.
The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of
the Bicameral Mind
by Julian Jaynes
I'm in love with the idea that we assume we're always conscious because we never know when we're not. I was talking about that when some nice person said, "Do I have a book for you!" I'll never finish this book because I keep writing in the margins.
Other Desert Cities
by Jon Robin Baitz
I'm now reading through plays endlessly. Some lovely person I hardly know sent this to me and said, "I think you should read this." I'm working now with Ron Rifkin, a close friend of Baitz's who's been in many of his plays. What I love about this is the unbelievable twist at the end. You just don't see it coming.

Research suggests that not all COX-2 drugs are the same
Celebrex appears to carry less heart risk in patients than Merck's
Vioxx, according to new research published in the medical journal
Annals of Internal Medicine.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania found that Vioxx was
2.72 times as likely to be associated with a nonfatal first heart attack than Celebrex -- contradicting the claims of some scientists that all COX-2 medicines may carry similar dangers.
"What that implies is that all COX-2 inhibitors may not be the same,"
Stephen Kimmel, associate professor of medicine and epidemiology and lead author of the study, told the Associated Press.
However, University of Pennsylvania cardiologist and pharmacologist, Garret Fitzgerald, questioned whether the study proved anything new.
"It's not a clean bill of health for Celebrex," Fitzgerald said in an
Associated Press report. "It's well recognized that these types of studies are not conclusive."
To find proof, Fitzgerald said, researchers would have to conduct a
random study involving people who took Vioxx, people who took
Celebrex, and people who took placebo -- all before they had heart
Instead, researchers studied 1,718 patients in the Philadelphia area who had heart attacks, and who were treated at one of 36 hospitals, and a comparison group of 6,800 people in the region.
The study was co-funded by Pfizer, Merck and the federal government. Vioxx was withdrawn from the market on Sept. 30 after a study revealed the risk of heart attacks and stroke was doubled when the drug was taken for more than 18 months.
According to data from IMS Health, in October, sales of Celebrex
topped $260 million -- 63.5 percent of the market for COX-2 inhibitors.

Calvert County's feral cat sanctuary is home to many cats who would otherwise have been destroyed, yet there is not a scruffy one among them. All have beautiful thick coats in the winter, and I wondered how each cat would manage the transition to summer.
Turns out, nature provides fallen tree limbs. Branches and still-pliable twigs serve as stationary cat-combs.
A cat's coat is made up of three types of hair. The underfur, curved or crimped hair called down or wool, keeps the cat warm. Guard and awn hairs are straight and taper to a point; they form a protective, insulating layer. By the time the May apples are in bloom, branches along forest paths are decorated with tufts of underfur, and the cats are trim and sleek.

Tiki Heavy White Hemp Rope Bracelet With Silver Ends

We want your ring to fit perfectly!
Ordering rings online can be a little complicated if you are unsure of your size. Most jewellery stores will measure you for free. Depending on the width of the ring you wish to purchase, you will either need to be measured using a narrow or wide (8mm+) gauge. If the ring is a gift, we suggest you order a standard stock size which can be used to surprise the person. This can then be sized accordingly by posting it back to us when the size is known. If the difference in size is small, this process will be pretty quick; however, if the ring needs to go up by a lot, a new one may have to be handmade which could take up to 3-4 weeks.
The first re-sizing of the ring from stock size is included in the price; although there will be a charge for any adjustments after the first time, which is why we suggest buying a stock size if you are unsure rather than guessing.

ANKARA, Turkey, May 14 (UPI) -- More than 232 people have perished in a coal mine explosion and fire in western Turkey on Tuesday, and more than 200 miners remain trapped.
Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz acknowledged that number may rise as emergency responders attempt to rescue more than 200 miners trapped two-thirds of a mile underground.
"We are worried that the death toll will rise ... I have to say that our hopes are dimming in terms of the rescue efforts."
Yildiz said, "Rescue operations will continue once smoke and CO2 levels are minimized."
The mine explosion occurred Tuesday in the town of Soma, in Manisa province, as workers were changing shifts. 787 miners were reportedly in the coal mine when the transformer exploded, causing a fire that burned for more than 18 hours.

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — Anibal Sanchez allowed a run in five innings, including Carlos Beltran's second homer, and the Miami Marlins beat the St . Louis Cardinals 3-1 Thursday.
Sanchez had been limited to three starts this spring because of a sore shoulder. He gave up two hits and a walk.
Cardinals starter Lance Lynn matched Sanchez, allowing one run on five hits in five innings. Lynn, who is taking the place of Chris Carpenter in the rotation, will make his first start on April 8 at Milwaukee.
Daniel Pertusati, a minor leaguer who has never played higher than Class A, hit a tying homer off Lynn in the fifth.

The cashless card is also great for students:
Online ordering is a convenient way to place orders with the school canteen, providing a 24/7 payment and ordering system that can be accessed from home, work or a mobile device.

Advanced features such as allergy warnings also help to alert canteen staff when preparing meals and help keep children safe.
It's often a struggle to get to the school during the uniform shop opening hours, and many are looking for an easier way. Sending students to school with large cheques or cash amounts is risky, and coming in to pay with a credit card is a pain. With flexischools you can view the uniform, choose your sizing and style, and have your fully-paid order sent to the school.

Jan '12 - Aug '13
This is my client:
Yeah...sort of...
It was a quirky way to bring some of the quirks of a real client to the research regarding our residential unit. We were each given a unique postcard with a combination of an image and a word and made to push the conventional understanding of each and the way they relate to each other.
As I explored expression and tupperware, I landed in an area where the container is what is expressive instead of what's inside. Currently, our containers don't say anything. For example, one of the two pieces of tupperware in my fridge, is clear, and contains pizza. What is expressed however, is not the clear plastic, but the cold pizza. When someone asks, "Whats in your fridge?" I respond, "Cold pizza." When asked about the other piece of tupperware, I say, "I don't know." It's opaque. I haven't looked in there in weeks. Turns out it was guacamole. Not anymore.
The same is true of many of our homes. Sure we decorate the inside; it says plenty about who we are. Even the way we design the insides has become a form of expression. The exteriors, the walls, the containers that compartmentalize our life, however say nothing. They are either clear, and express the cold pizza inside, or they are opaque and you have to open it to find out whats inside. The result of my research looks like this:
And my challenge to the "domestic agenda is to say. "What if the its just the container that expresses?" And here's a sneak peak at a board expressing that question. Not done yet, but final draft should be similar.
Pinning these up tomorrow, and moving to Sequence 1.3: ???

Job cuts at CBC after hockey loss
OTTAWA – CBC is getting ready for a round of mass layoffs, all the result of the state broadcaster losing the rights to Hockey Night in Canada.
Hubert Lacroix, the president of CBC, is slated to address employees Thursday in townhall meetings across the country.
Lacroix, who has previously warned of "dark clouds on the horizon" for CBC is expected to detail how he and his management team will deal with the expected $100 million drop in advertising revenue brought about by the loss of hockey broadcasts.
"On Thursday, Hubert, Heather Conway and Louis Lalonde will be speaking to employees from across the country and discussing the details related to CBC/Radio-Canada's financial pressures and how we'll go forward," spokesman Chuck Thompson said in an email.
CBC is refusing to confirm whether Lacroix will announce job cuts.
Last year, Lacroix took home a salary of between $348,400 and $421,600 plus perks including a car allowance, club memberships and financial planning services. He is also eligible for a bonus of up to 20% of his annual salary or up to $84,320.
After holding the main Canadian broadcast rights for NHL games for 61 years, CBC lost out to Rogers Broadcasting, which will partner with other private sector broadcasters including Quebecor owned TVA Sports, to televise the games coast to coast. Quebecor is also the parent company of QMI Agency.
While CBC will continue to broadcast games on Saturday nights, it will not receive any advertising revenues from those games.
In addition to the loss of hockey revenue CBC has cited a weak advertising market across the television industry.
Canadian taxpayers currently subsidize CBC to the tune of $1.1 billion per year in direct subsidy with millions more heading to the broadcaster through other government grants.

I'm a fan here in the Animal Rescue Site as well as for the Site for Autism Awareness, so I want to contribute in a small way to to help fund these causes by making a purchase in the shop online! I am an avid baker so I purchased the Women's Beans Project "Cindy's Sinfully" Chocolate Brownie Mix! Let me tell you...It is THE best "boxed" mix I have ever had! It does call for two eggs as well as the butter (I did add the extra tablespoons it suggested!) and I also added a few tablespoons of Dave's cold brewed coffee syrup to the mix & topped it all off with toasted walnuts and a good dusting of powdered sugar. THE best, chewy, chocolaty brownies from the convenience of a ready-made-mix! Simply, sinful! 5 Stars, for sure!!!
- May 17, 2013
These are the most delicious brownies I have ever made! I added the extra 2 tbsps of butter for a more fudgy flavor and they were perfect!
- September 25, 2013
Loved them but they did stick in the pan even after I sprayed it with Pam. I added the extra butter, too, and they were very chewy. Loved them.

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) January 15, 2014
The Pittcon Organizing Committee is pleased to announce that Innovative Publishing Company, publisher of Food Safety Tech, an e-Journal and producer of Food Labs Conference, has signed an agreement for the second year for the co-location of Food Labs Conference to be held in conjunction with Pittcon 2014.

Orlandi, Sr. Science Advisor Office of Foods and Veterinary Medicine, U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

We believe that the co-location of Food Labs is a perfect complement and adds a tremendous amount of value for attendees." She added, "We are looking forward to further developing this relationship in the future."

[caption id="attachment_3642" align="alignright" width="500" caption="USO Fort Drum Director Karen Clark prepares for the center opening in front of a photo of Mary Parry, in 2008. (USO photo by Jason Cutshaw)"][/caption]
Who is Mary Parry? "I think Mary Parry is one of the USO's greatest ambassadors; sharing our story of support for the Troops better than anyone I know. She has stories about the USO through WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and the conflicts of today," says Fort Drum USO Center Director Karen Clark.
"Mary has been with the organization since the beginning and sixty-nine years later the USO Fort Drum is honored when she stops by the Center for a special event. When Mary is at the USO Fort Drum there is mutual admiration. She hugs or shakes the hands of Soldiers thanking them for their service, and they will shake her hand and thank her for her service also. We are blessed to have such a dedicated and loyal USO volunteer in New York but we need additional help. Hopefully other patriotic citizens will follow in Mary's footsteps and will contact their local USO to volunteer."
We know that many of your have followed in Parry's footsteps, and her impact on the community has been tremendous. As Newzjunky.com reported: "Nearly 20 years before her involvement with the GWNC Chamber, Mrs. Parry became active with the United Service Organizations.
"Franklin Roosevelt had said, 'We need something for the military,'" Mrs. Parry said. "They started the USO and, in June we graduated, and six of us gals went down and figured, 'We're going down and dance for the soldiers.'"
Mrs. Parry moved to Watertown in 1959 where she ran the USO headquarters out of the YWCA building on Public Square."
Thanks, Mary Parry, for all of your years of service. And thank you to ALL of our dedicated volunteers around the globe who make sure the USO is there for our Troops and their families…Until Every One Comes Home.
Their journey is everyone's responsibility. From the moment they enlist, through their assignments and deployments, and as they transition back to their communities, they can rely on your support.

When it comes to hurricanes, wind speeds do not tell the whole story. Hurricanes produce storm surges, tornadoes, and often the most deadly of all - inland flooding.
While storm surge is always a potential threat, more people have died from inland flooding in the last 30 years. Intense rainfall is not directly related to the wind speed of tropical cyclones. In fact, some of the greatest rainfall amounts occur from weaker storms that drift slowly or stall over an area.
Inland flooding can be a major threat to communities hundreds of miles from the coast as intense rain falls from these huge tropical air masses.
Tropical Storm Allison (2001) produced extremely heavy rainfall and catastrophic floods in the Houston, Texas area. Allison then acquired subtropical characteristics and continued to produce heavy rainfall and flooding near its track from Louisiana eastward to North Carolina, and then northward along the US east coast to Massachusetts. Forty-one deaths were directly related to the heavy rain, flooding, tornadoes, and high surf. Damage estimates reported by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) were near $5 billion, with approximately $4.8 billion in the Houston metropolitan area alone.
Hurricane Floyd (1999) brought intense rains and record flooding to the Eastern US Of the 56 people who perished, 50 drowned due to inland flooding. Tropical Storm Alberto (1994) drifted over the Southeast United States and produced torrential rainfall. More than 21 inches of rain fell at Americus, Georgia. Thirty-three people drowned. Damages exceeded $750 million.
Tropical Storm Claudette (1979) brought 45 inches of rain to an area near Alvin, Texas, contributing to more than $600 million in damages.
Hurricane Agnes (1972) produced floods in the Northeast United States which contributed to 122 deaths and $6.4 billion in damages. Long after the winds from Hurricane Diane (1955) subsided, the storm brought inland flooding to Pennsylvania, New York, and New England contributing to nearly 200 deaths and $4.2 billion in damages.
Freshwater floods accounted for more than half (59%) of US tropical cyclone deaths over the past 30 years. These floods are why 63% of US tropical cyclone deaths during that period occurred in inland counties.
At least 23% of US tropical cyclone deaths occur to people who drown in, or attempting to abandon, their cars.
78% of children killed by tropical cyclones drowned in freshwater floods.
So, the next time you hear hurricane - think inland flooding!

So, a friend of mine has been helping me record music recently as I'm pretty hopeless at it. I figured I'd post the demo here and, in the process, make a thread for folk to add their musical endeavours.
Anyway, it's a pretty heavy song, more for the metal fans of the forum. It isn't quite finished, but I'm impatient.

You must be present to sign for your television when it arrives. When you receive your TV, please check the box and the TV carefully for any obvious signs of damage. If the television is damaged, refuse the shipment and call Vanns.com™ at 1-800-769-5668.
If only the box appears to be damaged, please remember that we guarantee the condition of the item, not the box. If you accept delivery please take a note of any damage on the delivery receipt.
If you refuse the shipment and there is nothing wrong with the television, you will be charged the shipping costs. If you accept delivery, open your box, and allow the television to warm to room temperature before you plug it into a power source (usually 4 hours).
After you have plugged the TV in, make sure everything is in good working order.
If, for any reason, you elect to return the television, you must do so within 30 days. It must be returned in the original box with the original packing material and with all the accessories. After 30 days, the purchase may only be returned in the original box and under certain terms and conditions.
Please refer to the Return Policy explained here.
